All THERE, TOPEKA.
Just as We Said, The wichitas Played Ball
Yesterday and Made the Topekas Open
Their Eyes Wide.
The game of base ball yesterday was avery
much better exhibition than that of the day
before The home team was rather dubious
in the first game on account OF the great
reputation the ''sluggers" had for hitting
the balls But after they had tried them
Friday, found they were not much, if any
| harder hitters than our boys. Yesterday
| the Topekas PUT in their new pitcher Saun-
ders, who is reported one of their great pitch
ers and the Wichitas lit on to him and
pounded him out of shape, making ten singles
and two doubles. Kenyon caught very
pretty game with only one passed ball and
one high throw over second. Their fielding
was fair but they could not get the hang Of
Hendricks speedy curves. He was hit for
only three singles and two doubles and
although he was little wild and gave five
men bases on balls and hit one man, Topeka
could not win. The fact of the matter was
Wichita just simply beat them playing ball
OF course, this will be sad news at Topeka,
| but it is the truth nevertheless.
| Schneider, the new catcher, also made his
first appearance here and caught a splendid
game with no passed balls, and he threw
| well to bases.
Glenalvin went to the bat first and struck
out, Hemp flew out and Scharry went out at
first. The Topekas started in just as they
did yesterday. Hemp failed to hold Stearns
fly, Holiday got base on balls and then the
smuggling began; Sneed and Macullar each
made single and Werden a double, with
nobody out bringing in four runs, Werden
was threwn out at third, Conway and Ard
ner flew out
In the second the Wichitas went out in the
one, two, three order. The Topekas got
nothing although Stearns made two Dagger.
There was fun in the third when Leighton
got to first on Ardner's tumble, stole second
and came in on Wilson's hit past third.
Schneider flew out to Ardner. Glenalvin flew
out to Conway. Hemp followed with pretty
hit to right, bringing in Wilson Soaring
hansen got to first on an error of Holiday
and both he and Hemp came in on passed
ball tieing the score amid tumultuous apzl
plauser For Topeka-Sneed got base on
balls, worked around to third and tried to be |
smart by making Schneider think he was
coming in, but got caught by Schneider and
Leighton on third. They did not make |
another hit until in the eighth, when Wer-
den made the last hit for them during the
game. Haber made nice clean hit in the
fourth but was caught mapping on second.
Hendricks fouled out. Leighton was hit but
failed to steal second. One, two, three, put
Topeka out. Wichita got the same treatment
IN the fifth. Topeka's first man at the
Dat, Saunders, was entertained by Ducky
Hemp Stearns got to first on Hendricks
scramble after the ball. Holiday was hit
Sneed flew out to Haber. McCullar got a
base on balls, so did Werden forcing Stearns
home, making Topeka one ahead. Conway
lew out to Glenalvin on the next ball pitch
ID, leaving three on bases.
Wichita made no run in the sixth although
Hemp and Whistler each made clean hits.
)ne, two, three for Topeka again.
The lucky seventh brought Wichita two
uns and put her one ahead. Haber was hit,
tole second and got home on Kenyon's over
brow to second. Hendricks flew out to
need. Leighton got to first on Saunders
umble, and came in on Wilson's hit /
made hit, but both he and Viii t
on were left on bases. Topeka went out in J
uick succession; Wichita did the same in r
be eighth. Werden made hit in the eighth d
tole second and got to third on a wild throw n
Schneider to second, and came home by a
be ball bouncing off his head at third o
ase, again tieing the score. a
Both mines went out in a hurry in the q
NTH and the audience eagerly watched the o
Tichitas 20 to the bat for the tenth c.
chneider was hit by the ball and got home IL
q Glenalvins hit amid the greatest excite q
lent. Hemp was applauded as be stepped e
p to the plate and acknowledged the compli- II
lent by knocking out a beautiful two bag
er bringing in Glenalvin. Scharry was
lrown out at first by Saunders. Whistler u
as hit by the ball, stole second and both he a.
nd Hemp came in on Haber's drive over C
inter field. Hendricks fouled out to Holli-
~. Leighton smashed the ball for a hit tr
